Hello,

I've searched a lot in the forum and the feature to let anyone write reviews is asked multiple times but without solution.

I've a shop with enabled review system.
In my shop, to make things simple, you don't have to register to order something.
But to write a review you have to register and register to write a review is something people don't do. So the review and order system don't work very well in each circumstance.
It would be nice if a customer could write a review with his/her ordernumber and the automatic generated "Order password".
Or is this already possible?

Or that it should be possible to let anyone write a review with a recaptcha security.
Auto-published is by default unchecked so with the recaptcha security it should be a save method for reviews and simple for the reviewers?

Interesting idea. We could add it if someone donates good code, or write it http://extensions.virtuemart.net/support

Thanks Milbo.
I also see a lot of shops with other software which allow reviewing without login. Just a recaptcha as spam security.
It can't be simpler than this.

Always check reviews for spam. There is a manual spam from humans... Dont trust 100% to recapcha...
The registration is not a problem. Most popular eshops use registration and there is no problem for reviews...
Yours suggest is good but it would be nice if it is an option for different method for reviews. Some eshops need included now other needs your suggestion.
I vote YES for your suggestion.

Other suggestion from me: After confirm order VM have to send email with link for direct review. Auto login when click on the link. May be link have to include password and ID for current order.... which will authorize user and redirect to the review form.
I think this will be easy to codding and simple to customers.

Thanks for thinking.
It's my suggestion also that it is just an option.
Register just scares off customers.
